Singer-songwriter Dan Marshall has signed an exclusive publishing deal with Jonas Group Publishing.
Marshall began his musical journey at a young age, first playing piano at 12 years old. The Virginia native grew up listening to country and classic rock, shaping his artistry. After learning how to play guitar at 18, Marshall began sharing his self-penned material at 21.
After playing linebacker on the Virginia Tech football team, Marshall auditioned for American Idol, becoming a season 20 top 10 finalist. Marshall moved to Nashville in the fall of 2022, and in 2023, he released his debut track “She Wants A Ring,” co-written with Reid Sorel and William Sims. Later on, he followed that with “Heaven’s Honky Tonk,” which racked up over one million views on TikTok and became a viral hit. The tune was co-penned with Matt Gorman and Taylor J. Smith.
“From the very first moment I walked in, everyone made me feel right at home,” says Marshall. “It truly felt like family. I want to thank Leslie [DiPiero], Kevin [Jonas Sr.], and the entire team for wholeheartedly believing in my vision as a writer and artist. Let’s get to work!”
“Dan has that elusive X-Factor,” shares DiPiero, Jonas Group Publishing President. “It is obvious that music flows through him naturally. He was born and raised listening to country music, and he honors that tradition through his melodic storytelling. We are all so excited for the journey ahead!”
